Here's how I made the most of my adventure through Peru’s magic cities — Cusco, Lima, Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain! This trip was packed with jaw-dropping history, wild nature, and yes, lots of furry alpaca encounters 🦙✨ Top Spots to Visit: 1. Cusco: The heart of the Inca empire! Wander the Plaza de Armas (Calle Triunfo, open 24/7), snap pics at the San Blas neighborhood, and don’t miss the lively local markets. 2. Lima: Hit up Miraflores (Parque Kennedy, Av. Diagonal, open late) for ocean views and incredible ceviche joints (try La Mar, Av. La Mar 770). The historic center (Plaza Mayor) shines with colonial charm. 3. Machu Picchu: Book your ticket ahead via trip.com and grab the early shuttle from Aguas Calientes town (first bus leaves 5:30am). The climb is worth every sweaty step—don’t rush through, bring water and sunscreen! 4. Rainbow Mountain: Arrive early (Vinicunca, opening around 5am) to beat the crowds and catch the rainbow peaks at sunrise. Dress warm, altitude here is no joke! Pro tips from the trip: Don’t leave without alpaca time—local herders let you play (and snap selfies!) with their fluffy pals in Cusco’s squares. Altitude can hit hard, so acclimate for a day or two in Cusco and drink coca tea. Book Machu Picchu tickets weeks ahead for peace of mind. And for Rainbow Mountain, consider a guided tour—unpredictable weather and remote roads mean pro drivers = less stress. Getting around: Domestic flights or comfy buses (like Cruz del Sur) are best between Lima, Cusco, and surrounding areas. In cities, grab taxis via phone apps or walk central neighborhoods. Food recs: Try street churros in Cusco, munch on aji de gallina in Lima, and snack on choclo con queso (corn with cheese) on your Machu Picchu hike. Key tips: Cash is king in markets. Weather flips fast, pack layers and rain gear. Entrance tickets for Machu Picchu must match ID/passport info! #PeruAdventure #MachuPicchuMagic #CuscoDays #LimaEats #RainbowMountain
